INDIANAPOLIS -- Officially, Judith Chin is a pediatric dentistry professor at the IU School of Dentistry. Unofficially, her title could be Indiana’s Tooth Fairy.

During the past six years, Chin has led efforts that brought about $1 million in financial grants and dental supplies to Indiana to treat thousands of children whose families don’t have the resources to pay for dental care and aren't eligible for governmental assistance. Most recently, more than $100,000 worth of toothbrushes have been made available.
